    I don’t know why any sporting events schedule halftime shows. Hardly anyone likes them.

        I swear a good number of American sports fans don’t actually like their sports. Everything I hear that’s “good” about the Super Bowl is external and not the actual game

          Baseball fans are pretty ride or die. I think it’s the necessary induction into the sport due to the arcane nature of it, similar to cricket fans.

          There are 330 million Americans, which ones are you referring to? Because it really depends on the region a lot of the time.

          Were the ones you were referring to Americans living in the same city / state of said superbowl team? Or did you just make that up based on some comments you read online?

        Yeah we do it in Australia as well and it’s generally b grade entertainment.

        We’re actually truly embarrassing at it.
